Kevin Smith is full of shit
After vowing that the so-called Askewniverse (aka the Jersey Trilogy) was being to rest with 2001's Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, director Kevin Smith has opted to return to the Askewniverse with a direct sequel to 1994's Clerks, the independent movie that put Smith on the road to stardom.
As a fan, I believed Smith when he first said that the Asknewniverse was being retired so that he could go on to other projects. Cool, I thought. I mean, how many years can dick and fart and stoner jokes last, right? All good. And to tell you the truth, it wouldn't really have bothered me if he revisited the Askewniverse after a few years. However, Smith has only put out one freakin' movie since Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back -- that being Jersey Girl. He's supposedly been working on a script for The Green Hornet, and he's also listed as being the director for the new Fletch movie (2006, according to IMDB).
So Smith has barely put the Askewniverse behind him and he's already coming back to it. That definitely says something about him. The full press release is on Movie Poop Shoot.
